Re: re-installing wireless printer everytime

[smlunatick]

How is the printer set up for the wireless networking?

Do you have a wireless router or are you trying to access your desktop directly?

Does your printer come with wireless networking "built-in" directly from the
manufacturer (either inside or with certified add-on modules?)

Do you have any additional wireless problems?

Check on the Desktop and turn off "Allow the computer to turn of this
device to save power..." for the USB ports that the lexmark is
connected to.
